Learning Portfolio 3

Activity

1) USB sticks have reduced the cognitive load of human beings by acting as a transportable memory device to store information.   These can also reduce the kinematic load of the physical activity required to transport files and books holding vital research that can be instead stored on the memory of the USB. 

 

 

 

 

2)  House phones have reduced the kinematic load required in terms of the dial buttons replacing the original turn wheel.  The effort of turning the wheel to each button has been discarded for much easier and quicker to use buttons.

 

 

 

 

 

3) Reminders can be entered into our phones with an alarm set to go off at a certain time, reducing our own cognitive load.  Instead of having to physically remember the date in our memory or write it down somewhere, the event can be stored into our own transportable mobile phones.
